AntiSpyware & SecurityCenter

[mangold]

Hello
WinXP Home SP2

Is AntiSpyware supposed to be shown in SecurityCenter?
1.) FIREWALL ACTIVE
2.) AUTOMATIC UPDATES ACTIVE
3.) ??????? ????

My SecurityCenter indicates
3.) ANTIVIRUS ACTIVE
which came with F-Secure.
However F-Secure has been DEinstalled and replaced by
AntiSpyware.

Regards Günter

Hello,

MS-AS is not an antivirus...
(sorry, don't know why SC keep to say "antivirus active")

Cheers

Jean-Marc is correct--Microsoft Antispyware is not an antivirus and does not
substitute for one. It has no interaction that I'm aware of, in this build,
with the Security Center. I'm running F-secure on my machne and don't see
anything out of the ordinary. In the Security Center, there is a blue
shield displayed, and the text describes the F-secure version I am running.
